So PCI had to get cancelled as the painters who were supposed to turn up last week didn't until Tuesday

They did however get finished yesterday.

We also got our appliances installed except the range hood as the lip to hold it is too big and it won't fit.

Carpets were meant to get done today, but didn't turn up, in truth with the rain etc I'm glad they didn't, so maybe tomorrow sometime

M's QA team is supposed to be going through Thursday next week along with the final roof check and certification etc.

PCI won't be until Friday next week at the earliest, probably monday of the week after. We are supposed to be getting handover on the Tuesday, but i can't see how having PCI and Handover one day apart will work..so assume that will be put off as well. Probably end up being a couple of days after, the SM has already got alot of the leg work done so it really is just a final checkover.

Some photo's showing the appliances, with a piccy of the new doggy we'll be picking up on the 17th of this month Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Share

Ok good luck we too have PCI next week....but don't have appliances, solar heater or tank done and a host of other electrical misses. How is everything tracking for you....do u have a lot of fixes that will be required or is it nearly done.

From what I can tell its just a few things that need to be finished off, a whole downpipe has to be installed (they had to wait for render to be done) plus just a little bit of gyprocking and patching etc

Aside that, theres just a few tiny things more cosmetic, things like little chips and dinks in paint etc

I'm there all the time and there doesnt seem to be much that they need to do to finish, ill give them kudos to the fact they have done a good job on the actual finish. The structural side of it seems fine to me as a layman, but i have to wait for my final inspection, but even then I dont think there will be much

I just hope we dont get delayed on handover, ive got things booked in that I don't really want to change around, plus i have to start getting things like Opticomm and comms/electricians in asap etc.

Also dont worry about appliances/tank etc not being in. It's actually quite normal for that all to get done post PCI, as you need the ability to see everything structurally prior to that stuff going in. It actually works in your favour to have it as a blank canvass.

Carpets got mostly installed yesterday, still haven't done one room. Apparently the SM and the carpet installers ended up in a argument and they threatened to walk off the site....but they still managed to get it mostly installed.

SM has had the CM come through and identified around 45 defects and they are apparently around 95% complete. We (finally) have our PCI booked for Tuesday (2 weeks after the original date mind you) and then the M QA is coming through on Wednesday.

God knows when handover will happen, hopefully either the weekend or very early the following week.

The whole thing is bordering on the insane, how and why it can take 10 months to build a single story house i'll never fully understand.

The most annoying aspect of the whole thing has been that tradies will get 3/4 of a job done, then they come back and do 1/2 of that 1/4 left then another small bit and another, instead of just getting everything done at the one time. It's now at the point where the the whole thing is tarnised by this experience, what should of been a good thing has turned into something that I just want to see the end of, moving into it won't be as fulfilling as it should of been.

M’s QA is all done, all went well, not a huge amount of things that came up, mainly just rattles/squeaks etc

Waiting on final account to get completed then we should have handover sometime early to mid next week (so they say)

Really only 3 things that prevent us moving in and that is carpet/gutter and gas connection but all are organised and all aside gas is a easy rectification. Gas is a problem as M doesnt control it so can’t g’tee that it will get done. We should be able to get IOC without it though as the house is technically livable

On some positive news M let us do our driveway and front stairs and also install all the blinds and ZipTrak we ordered
